Revelation 5

¹ Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.

² And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”

³ But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it.

⁴ And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
